Greetings! I hope
your spring semester has been enjoyable. It is
great to be in full swing with our concert bands.
During this time most of our chapters should be
working with probationary members and I hope you
will support them in this important activity.
Your participation can provide and ensure that
new members understand our important role in
serving the bands and being positive enthusiastic
role models. Attending the rituals can be a very
positive way of indicating your support and
interest in the fraternity. Your guidance and
involvement with your chapter is greatly
appreciated.
AUDITIONS for the 2001 National
Intercollegiate Band.
We are very proud of this outstanding national
project. The 2001 NIB conductor will be Bryan
Shelburne, US Army (Ret.), former Leader and
Commander of the US Army Band in Washington D.C.
Our 2001 commissioned composer is Timothy Mahr. I
hope you will encourage your best musicians to

in Corpus Christi, TX, July 22-24. Students can
submit an audition tape or CD to the National
Headquarters before April 21. The application

Ticheli Columbine CommissionPublished.
“An American Elegy” is now available
and is a powerful piece. The work is very
accessible technically, but be ready for a very
emotional and musical performance opportunity.
KKY is proud to be apart of this outstanding
service project and commission organized by the
Alpha Iota chapter.
KKY National Officers at 2001 National CBDNA
Convention in Denton.
Many of our KKY national council
and board of trustees will be attending this
convention. We look forward to seeing many of you
and having a chance to visit with you.
District Conventions Spring 2001
Each spring every district holds a convention.
These are excellent and provide a great way for
our members to learn more about the fraternity,
meet members from other chapters, and gain better
ways to serve their bands. Please consider this a
personal invitation to attend. If the convention
is close, consider attending for a day. I know
how much your chapter and the district would be
thrilled to have you there.
